Geez. Way to grind a fun thread to a halt by (NOT comically) Missing The Point : Which is about James Bond DELIBERATELY Being a Litterbug. *Accidents* like dropping his PPK at Palmyra don't count , since he didn't DECIDE to do that like all of the others. And anyways, your "clever" idea about the we...

And in TB, when after he narrowly avoids being grenade-bombed by Largo's men while snooping around beneath the Disco Volante at night, Bond resurfaces on a nearby beach and tosses away his flippers and bright orange-reddish scuba suit before he hitches a lift from that foxy red-haired Italian MILF F...

OK, I'll bite. After more rubbish than not flooding the discussion boards as of late, this actually has the potential to be FUN for a change. So yes, he is a litterbug. In FRWL, there's the scene when Bond subdues Red Grant's contact after The Big Awesome Train Fight (the moustached lackey who force...

If Craig returns and he probably will despite it being the wrong move at this point, the next film has written itself and he alluded to it in the interview. Brofeld will escape, Craig and Swann will find themselves tootling along in the DB5 wistfully discussing their plans for the future when a sho...

Unless you're Sweenster, Nash, Stocks or some other minion, no one here should pick the first option. And that's exactly why I voted what I did: Do Nothing. Because it's actually a sensible option when it applies to Not Caring and to Just Walk Away . For REAL, rather than just saying it 20 times pe...

The "Spotlight on Felix (Leiter)" that that *article* blathers about is just another example of this come-lately dilettante bull$#!+ that retroactively props up a NON-entity nobody gave a flying f#*! about before he was allegedly made *cool* with Jeffrey Wright in CR/QoS. With a choice quote like "F...

Nice job breaking it. One week of NO replies just might have made it clear for the OP to stop wasting everyone's time with these obnoxious, attention-whoring non-posts that do NOTHING but waste space. And then you go ahead and indulge him. Unbelievable.

but in order to be avant garde, the next villain will be a woman, she will be a girl Bond din't give a valentine to when he was 12, because he was distraught over the death of his parents unbeknownst to her, so she will devise a world domination plot to extract revenge! IIRC, when Jessica Chastain ...

*sigh* All of the above's opening statement is such a simplistic generalization that I struggle to prevent myself from going off into a "long-winded, windy-troll post" that certain Moderators *yawn* at (that I only find necessary to get my exact points across without degrading myself like a broken-r...

NO. Simply because Tarantino doesn't have the subtlety, discipline, and (above all) Class to reign in his trashy, in-your-face, showing-off "style" that just doesn't work in something as *specialized* as a James Bond movie.

Quentin Tarantino has always been an Overrated Hipster FRAUD, period. And beside his myriad failings as a Human Being (of which bjmdds ' posting above is just one more example of), I firmly believe QT should be held responsible for his own part in the ruination of the Bond movies today. Which has be...

What? And have him bask in the predictable kudos as the "Series' Savior" once again by making another "Hero's Return" to Introduce Yet Another New James Bond after Brosnan & Craggy's debuts? Then dropping out a THIRD time because nurturing the next era STILL isn't good enough for him? To enable his ...

This Craig incident gets me angry by the day. Now here they are with a weak damage control spin. And why in hell is Harris the one doing the explaining, struggling to justify Craig's meltdown? It's been nearly a week since the Craig rant surfaced and the guy went AWOL on the subject and so did Eon ...

And more importantly, Bruce Lee was so deeply driven and ambitious about doing his own thing by then that there's no way he would've regressed to the demeaning role of a SIDEKICK in a James Bond movie, "International Exposure" or not. Especially after his own disenchantment with Hollywood's *limited...

Barry Niven » 08 Oct 2015 10:43 pm I suspect that much of Craggy's crybaby bawling is just cheap attention-whoring to boost his "street cred" as a "Serious Actor" who doesn't really buy into the *bourgeois* values of the Actual James Bond movies, but will gladly take the Millions of Dollars that "Fa...

That's what they get when they indulge their Favorite Pet by loosening his leash: An overgrown baby bawling until he gets his bottle.
And Craggy even looks like one, too.

(Bruce) Lee, of course, was scheduled to appear in TMWTGG as the Lt. Hip character ... he would have overshadowed Sir :cake: Roger. Excuse me, commander0077again , but where exactly did you come up with THAT little factoid? Because I don't believe any of it for a second, thanks to a useful little t...

Yes, he did *suck*. Or more precisely, I just didn't like him. So much that I never would've watched TLD (and LTK) IF Brosnan has gotten to star as Bond because he just rubs me the wrong way as an actor with his smug blandness. If it were not for the whole 1990's PR hype of how everyone should "give...
